QUOTES FROM “REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER”

Following are quotables from “Real Time with Bill Maher” for Friday, February 26th, 2010. “Real Time with Bill Maher” airs Fridays at 10:00PM ET (10:00PM PT, tape delayed) on HBO, with additional replays throughout the week on HBO and HBO 2.

Being politicians you know, they all got to sharing their personal stories. Obama talked about his mother’s battle with cancer. And Harry Reid talked about a kid with a cleft palate. And John McCain told how he once carried a brain dead woman through an entire campaign

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue

Obama’s like a guy in college who spends a whole year, wasting it, trying to hit on Ellen DeGeneres.

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue regarding Obama reaching out to Republicans

Bush said he had spent the last year working on his book. I swear. Hard to believe Bush has a book. But if you buy Cheney has a heart…

The games were fun, but there were some high-profile mistakes, come on. Admit it. Like the terrible decision to let Toyota design the luge.

- Bill Maher in his opening monologue

Also in the category of obvious but still shocking, an animal called a killer whale killed someone who was trying to play with it. Now, no one knows exactly what enraged the whale, but earlier in the week, it had been thrown off a flight by Southwest Airlines.

- Bill Maher, in his opening monologue

The United States, rather than simply try to talk to these guys who now run Iran, we ought to be looking for ways to strengthen the green movement, the opposition in the streets of Iran, to see if we can’t help bring about a change in politics in that country.

- Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations

What I thought was good about the summit was it made clear that there is a real ideological difference. And if Obama believes in healthcare reform he should push it through. He has a majority. He doesn’t need the Republicans to support him.

- Chrystia Freeland, US Managing Editor of The Financial Times

Nobody wants to pay for somebody else.

- Chris Rock, regarding resistance to healthcare reform

If you look at gun violence, the big problem is the war on drugs, in my opinion. I think as long as you criminalize a behavior that tons of folks are involved in, you know, you basically create this huge spiral of crime.

- Reihan Salam, co-author of "Grand New Party" and a columnist at The Daily Beast

The NRA, these are the same guys that are all worried about big government and your rights and your right to thrive and live and everything else. But it you or I grew a pot plant on our property, they’d want it seized by the government n… and to me, that’s just hypocritical.

- Adam Carolla

New Rule: Don’t bring wine to my dinner party. Because then if you drink it, it’s not really a gift, is it? But if I choose a different wine, you’re thinking, “What the hell’s wrong with the bottle I brought?” And when you bring wine and then say, “I don’t drink,” what kind of condescending crap is that? Your cute little gift is such a minefield of potential awkwardness; thank God I’m already high.

- Bill Maher in his “New Rules” segment

New Rule: Saying “Hey, it was the ‘80s” is not an excuse. This week the New York Times broke the news that when Senator Scott Brown went on a first date with his wife, he was wearing pink leather shorts. Let me repeat that: He was wearing pink leather shorts, because, “It was the 80s.” Scott, I remember the 80’s, and one man wore that outfit. So congratulations, tea-baggers, you just elected Richard Simmons.

- Bill Maher in his “New Rules” segment

This week's guests were Chrystia Freeland, Reihan Salam, Olivia Wilde, Adam Carolla, and Richard Haass, with a special surprise appearance by Chris Rock.

Bill is funny as usual but I had to laugh as a pro-gun supporter and pro-animal rights supporter (yeah I'm a normal person..not a steriotype of either side) at the backwards thinking of some of the comments made by Bill and his anti-gun supporters. On one hand Bill was talking about the killer whale incident as well as the Steve Irwin incident..and I agree.. don't fuck with wild animals.. they have the right to defend themselves if they feel threatened.. but on the other side he doesn't feel the same way about his fellow man being able to protect themselves. I'm not talking about shitbag criminal.. but simple law abiding citizens who want to protect their familys. We fear what we don't understand.

Richard Haas is a good guy & the CFR isn't fronting for ELITE special interests? Bill, if the MOSAD is so excellent then they wouldn't have been so sloppy. Either they didn't do it or they didn't feel the need to hide it.

We do have the best health care system in the world, it's based on the profit motive. We pay money to an insurance company, betting that someday we'll get sick and need the care of a doctor and maybe a hospital stay. The insurance company takes our money betting that when we do get sick, they can somehow fuck us out of the benefits that we thought were covered. What's wrong with that?

is this the real time..... all i can say is I am a thirtyfive year old female who loves you and what you stand for, at least I think..... you could be a dink in real life....as empty as everything else is in this world that we call AMERICA. Even though I am from the smartest of the land... new england of course... I am not proud of my country... the best thing that we have is the freedom of speech and people like you....so if you want to say fuck you to the world, which is about to be water world anyway..then join me for shots of jagger, and you can argue this out with the youth( me at thirtyfive, and hot as hell btw).....

Why is it that conservatives and republican alike can't seem to quote their "facts" accurately? During the discussion about healthcare when the panel was talking about where the US ranked in world healthcare systems, Mr. Salam make a quick comment that Singapore was number 1 and they were all private. WRONG. First they are number 6 and they are not private. Not they way he was alluding to. They have universal healthcare and the government controls the cost and makes sure everyone gets covered. Yes the insurance companies are private companies but they are regulated by the government. In fact the only country that really has anything close to total government controlled healthcare is Britain. However the private sector still does handle a lot of logistics. Heck even Medicare isn’t completely government controlled. Blue Cross, I think, handles all of the billing and charges a 3-5% charge to do it.

I watched your show last night and was happy you mention about the Toyota mess. Can you find out if the dysfunctional accellerator part was subcontracted out to an American company and manufactured in a plant in the great state of Indiana. Does Japan use the same part on cars in their country? I am curious if Toyota cars in America are made by Americans for Americans. I think that is worth looking into.

To add to Tony's comment, below my post is a link to a description of the Singapore health system. It is definitely not a purely free market system as Mr. Salam was implying. In fact try implementing some of these principals (i.e. mandatory saving of employment income towards a health savings account) in America and they'll be looking for a word more left than socialist to call Obama!

Greg,Really? That's it? Just hatred? I guess that's typical from the conservative side. No logic or reason, which can be supported with legitimate facts or evidence, to back up your opinion, just hatred.

I am tired of your draconian analness of not allowing non-USA viewers to view your content. I would like to watch your show, but of all the shows produced in the US you sir are the most draconian. If a show is on Youtube you smash it down. You don't have links on your website, or anywhere else. Take a lesson from Keith Olbermann, or John Stewart...

Hey Bill, I'm one of those REDNECKS in TEXAS you spoke about in the commentary on your show last night. You use the F-Bomb the B-word along with several other words we Rednecks don't use in any conversation with anyone we speak with. Do me a favor, why don't you debate your thoughts with Bill or Rush or Sean? You scared? I don't think you have the intellect to compete, now do you? I can't wait to see your weak response.

"Debating" with any of these Fixed News shills is exactly the same as beating your head against the hood of a cops' car. Debating is something prelaw students do. If you want to see a debate, sit in on a trial where someone's life is at stake. Then you'll look at the bullshit Fixed News and the RNC call a debate and say, "This is bullshit!"

Not everyone in Texas is a redneck. I liked the people of Crawford, Texas in the movie "Crawford". You might enjoy it. Don't miss the symbolism in the final scene, there are some clever folk in Crawford.

Yet I'm writing this letter to you to give youa a suggestion that, in my opinion, would be of great value to the atheist/secular comunity, and a big blow to the absurd faith of Christians, especially Americans and Brazilians (that are "flour the same brush ").

It is proposed that you invite William Lane Craig for a TV-network debate!

You see, Craig is currently the number one hero of the Christians! He is that guy who asked Richard Dawkins to debate, but Richard declined many times (claiming Craig was not important).

In fact Craig is a professional debater and highly misleading, he can at times say things that even when we know they are not true, it strikes and cuts the opponent's reasoning.

I believe that debate with him would not be as simple as mock Christianity (Although some irony is always timely and comic), but you would require a little research and studies on the arguments he uses, and which arguments hits him. (I know them and I can anticipate some of your work, if you like! )

I, as an atheist, would love to see this lies promoter being humbled by an amazing debater and thinker like you. I do not think there is someone more appropriate.I saw him to debate with Christopher Hitchens, and it was not productive to Hitchens, thats has been so lazy as an apartment's apartment!

Sam Harris would be a good opponent for Craig as he is very clear on his arguments, but I think he is too much nice, even nicer that Dawkins, so he can't give to Craig what he deserves.

Than I think the ONLY PERSON who could really bring down the house of Craig doing it through a historical grievance would be YOU! You're the man!Nobody could be more appropriate, what I think, creates some responsibility...

I do not want to extend too much, I just let my congratulations and wish you a long long heath life, I know you from many years and consider you a intellectual hero, especially for yours irreverent way of addressing the issues that our hypocritical society pretends not to see!

Thank very much, and if you want to respond, you can write to carloszarref at gmail dot com.Goodbye!
